This is part 17 in a series of 26 photographs of the Kuantan Skies taken this year. All but 3 were taken from my window or balcony.

Kuantan Skies #17 - My personal favourite photo, the green palm tree leaf contrasts with the early morning sunrise displayed in shades of orange, yellow, pink and purple

Trees In Kuantan Part 4 - Flowers

Welcome to Part 4 of my first 'Trees In Kuantan' series. Today we'll be taking a look at flowers, buds, fruit or other growths which are adorned on certain trees. Flowers add colour to a tree, and there's certainly no shortage of that in Kuantan. Scroll down and have a look at my selection . . .

These decorative appendages to this palm tree lay scattered on the floor

And here they are, still attached, to another tree

Another tree shows them hanging like hair braids

This small tree experiences seasonal bursts of pink flowers

The camera looks through a maze of branches and flowers

This small tree by the roadside holds fantastic orange and yellow flowers

Tiny flowers hang off a branch from this tree

Trees In Kuantan Part 3 - Leaves

Trees In Kuantan - Part 3 deals with leaves. Leaves are the component of a tree which absorb sunlight to aid in the trees growth and maintain its vitality. They also act as decorative pieces, beautifying the tree they adorn. We used to collect autumnal leaves when I was a child, in all sorts of colours like red, orange, yellow and brown, in various shapes and sizes. However, leaves look best where they belong - on a tree.

A giant layer of skin from a palm tree lies on the floor after being shed by its tree. Though not a leaf in itself, it holds the branches and adjoined leaves in place until their time expires

The green leaves of this palm tree sway gently in the breeze as outdated brown leaves lay idle on the ground

The leaves and branches grow in arcing shapes along the road

The attractive leaves of these palm trees dominate this section of Bukit Ubi in Kuantan

These miniature trees support long, pointed leaves

Like a hand and fingers, these interesting leaves decorate this small plant

Look at these tiny leaves all lined up neatly on the thin branches

Here are some more at a closer range

These trees kind of remind me of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. The leaves are neatly ordered in order to gain maximum exposure to sunlight
